Re: Summer Leaf Drop On Your Roses

I totally agree with you, Paul! Some roses are more susceptible than others, and in my gardens, the same roses drop their shorts every year, just like we strip down when we get hot! I do, however, offer a cool shower to the foliage in the morning when it gets super hot like this. The good thing about living in CT is that it doesn't usually stay this wicked-hot for toooooooooo long! Hugs your way...
